Fef15t Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I have a Lunchbox that needs a bit of work and, while I am working on it, I thought I might replace the very, very battered body. Rather than just throw the current one away, I thought I would Mad Maxify it. I can make or find just about everything I need. The thing I am having trouble with is finding tread plate (either single or double diamond) in plastic. The lunchbox is 1/12 scale, but the closest I can find, in the tread plate, is 1/50. So, the question is: Where do people find theirs? Or, if I can’t get it in the exact scale, what scale - that is more easily acquired - do you think I can get away with? Thanks.

I’ll have to go for it if I can’t find it in plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 How about these? Not quite 1:12 scale but a lot closer than 1:50. https://www.jperkins.com/products/JTT97451 https://modelshop.co.uk/Shop/Model-Detail/1-25-Scale/Surface-Detail/Item/1-25-tread-plate-single/ITM3232 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! They are exactly what I was hoping to find. I’m sure Mad Max wasn’t overly inclined to crack out his scale rule whilst being chased down by a spike encrusted monster truck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
